 In order to extract the nutrients the body must break down the fibrous plant cells that hold the powerful nutrient-dense juice. juicing fruits and vegetables is a great way to unleash the benefits without all the digestive work. Not that the fiber of fruits and vegetables isn't wonderful for you, but you can also get a concentrated amount of the phytonutrients plants have to offer by juicing.
The benefit juicing has to offer to detoxification comes with the plants you choose to juice. Vegetables are preferable over fruits, as juicing many fruits concentrates the sugars found in fruit. |

 I used to love juicing. Very often I would juice my fruits and vegetables rather than "waste" my time and effort on chewing them. About thirty years ago, in the first books about juicing I read, I learned that fiber was not digestible, contained no nutrients, and served merely as a strain on the human intestinal tract. Since then juicing became one of my regular habits. I was proudly juicing for days, even weeks, trying to "cleanse" myself of toxins, and 1 considered myself to be maintaining a very healthy diet! I became astounded by the comparison of 300 grams with three. |

 Plus, you can make it as delicious as you want (using only natural produce, please, no added sugars) just by juicing delicious vegetables and fruits together. It is simply the most flexible, yet effective system of nutritional self treatment I've seen yet. (Naturally, the more juice you drink, the faster your results will be...)
Of course, the idea of drinking lots of fresh juice is not exactly new either. The Max Gerson Institute (www.Gerson.org) has been promoting juicing for decades. I strongly support the Gerson Institute, by the way. Those folks know what they're doing. |

 It is capable of juicing all types of produce, including green leafy vegetables (even grasses), and can effectively homogenize nuts and seeds for pates. I recommend the Green Star as it is efficient for juicing greens and homogenizing ingredients. You can also make green vegetable juice with a high-speed blender, by blending your produce with a little water, and straining the juice out through a nut mylk bag (a fine mesh bag) over a bowl or pitcher. |

I became astounded by the comparison of 300 grams with three. Moreover, I realized how harmful it was for my health when I consumed zero fiber by juicing all the time. I decided that I couldn't afford to throw my fiber in the compost any more. Green smoothies are definitely superior to juices. Yet I still consider that juicing could contribute to health in specific situations. |

Most juicers are relatively inexpensive and are available in most big department stores such as Target and Wal-Mart. |

 For these people, there are living foods, superfoods, raw cacao, sprouts, rainforest herbs, sunshine, juicing and joyful exercise. Their future is also clear: Exceptional mental performance, freedom from chronic pain, excellent vitality and longevity, spiritual awareness, abundant living and much more.
Which group do you want to belong to?
You make that decision every time you shop for food. When you buy processed meats, you put yourself on a timeline track towards disease, suffering and medical victimization. |

FOOD PROCESSOR
A high-quality food processor enables you to process vegetables in a variety of forms; it will also allow the processing of nuts and seeds to a variety of consistencies. Look for one with 8- to 10-cup capacity. |

| I strongly support the Gerson Institute, by the way. Those folks know what they're doing. Their protocol really does reverse many cancers.
The Hippocrates Institute (http://www.hippocratesinst.com), headed by Dr. Brian Clement, is also a wonderful place to enjoy the healing properties of fresh juice. They've really mastered the art of sprout growing, wheat grass juicing and much more. I also strongly recommend the Hippocrates Institute to anybody who feels they need some professional guidance while they're undergoing a plant-based healing journey. |
| You don't need to go to a juicing center or clinic to do this. You can do it from your own kitchen, safely, affordably and successfully.
I've personally found Juice Feasting to be nothing less than life changing. Once I tried this for three days, I was hooked. I've now been on a modified Juice Feast ever since I met David Rain. It has become my new, healthy lifestyle.
I'm drinking five quarts of juice a day, which means I'm drinking thousands of phytonutrients from about five pounds of fresh produce every single day. |

 It requires a wholesale shift to a healthy lifestyle that includes raw foods, superfoods, extreme juicing of vegetables, sunlight therapy, and a complete lifetime avoidance of cancer-causing foods, medicines and personal care products.
I'll say it as bluntly as I can: If you are not willing to radically change your diet, take up exercise and eliminate all the poisons from your home, then your outcome is already determined. I've had people literally tell me, "I'd rather die than give up eating my steak." And sure enough, they're already dead. |

You may have heard of "Juice Fasting" or "Juicing," but this is something quite different. It's called "Juice Feasting" and it involves drinking large quantities of plant-based juices that you make yourself, right in your own kitchen, using nothing more than a blender and a nut milk bag. (You don't need a juicer to do this.)

| That's no surprise, since the raw spinach and other vegetables I'm juicing are very high in protein in their raw, uncooked state. (I'm also adding spirulina and other green superfoods to my juice, so I'm getting additional high-density nutrients that way.)
I've dropped body fat and become more fit and lean. I've also boosted my cognitive function and memory. It has helped my Spanish lessons tremendously, and I've never been more productive in terms of content creation, reading and research projects.
People often ask me, "Mike, how do you get so much done? |

 They're adopted healthier lifestyles, turning to raw foods, juicing, superfoods and microalgae like spirulina and chlorella. They've realized that the drug companies are full of bunk, and that no pharmaceutical has ever cured any disease. Yet diabetics, heart disease patients and cancer patients and reversing their diseases like never before by turning to a plant-based diet, engaging in regular exercise and avoiding all toxic chemicals (including those in foods, drugs and personal care products).
To those people who still think for themselves, pharmaceuticals are largely irrelevant. |

 Juicing may be advantageous but poses challenges in having to consume high volumes of food and to maintain fresh stocks in the kitchen. Greens formulas (drinks, powders) may or may not be advantageous and should be labeled for their ORAC values to help consumers evaluate their antioxidant power. The addition of a relatively small amount of fruit extracts to a multivitamin regimen could deliver the ORAC antioxidant power needed when the body is challenged by oxidative stress. |

| You can create the incredible benefits of juicing nutrition -- great-looking skin, loss of body fat, rapid disease reversal and more -- without visiting a single doctor or taking a single FDA-approved pharmaceutical. In fact, Juice Feasting juices will help protect your body from pharmaceuticals! Your liver, for example, which is usually hammered by taking doctor-prescribed medicines, will experience new, youthful vitality following regular Juice Feasting.
The benefits of Juice Feasting are limitless
There are so many benefits from Juice Feasting that it's just too many to list right here. |

| Despite a host of experts from the cancer world who lined up to recommend chemotherapy, Guerin-Tosh opted for a mixed bag of alternative therapies including Gerson therapy, dietary measures such as a low-iron diet, high dose vitamin D and vitamin C, selenium, acupuncture, breathing exercises, and juicing, to name a few. It was not a popular decision. Even Wynder said "/ would not put my dog on Gerson therapy."
Among the many substances and practices he followed, the only alternative measures likely to have been beneficial would be his low-iron diet and high vitamin D therapy. |

 Roll the lemon under your palm on a hard surface to soften it before juicing. A large lemon will yield about 3 to 4 tablespoons of juice.
• Just need a bit of juice? Make a toothpick hole in the skin through which to extract juice, and then leave the toothpick in the hole to "seal" it and maintain freshness.
• Add lemon juice, pulp, and rind into salads, soups, and anywhere that you want a fresh citrus taste.
• Lemon juice can be used to change milk into buttermilk.
• Lemon juice "cooks" fish without heat in traditional ceviche dishes. |

 I've known people to overcome cancer by starting with a detox event like this, and then turning to daily juicing and medicinal herbs to beat their cancer. I've seen people reverse type-2 diabetes in a matter of just a few weeks, and I know that virtually everyone who takes prescription drugs of any kind (even "happy pills" like antidepressants, or over-the-counter painkillers) has a clogged liver and could experience incredible benefits from a serious liver cleanse.
If you've never done a cleanse like this, you probably have no idea just how good you can feel afterwards. |

 Celery and cucumbers are great for juicing because their high water content yields plenty of juice.
Topical: Tea tree oil is an effective antibacterial agent. Apply it as a cream, or 10-15 drops of the oil diluted in a Yi oz of water, two to three times a day. Oregano oil can also be used topically for its antibacterial effects. Use the oil directly on the abscess once or twice a day.
Supplements: Take 1,000 mg of vitamin C with bioflavonoids three times a day. These nutrients work synergistically to support the immune system and reduce skin inflammation. |

| Eat lean proteins such as antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken and grass-fed meats, tofu, and seafood. Try juicing green vegetables for a daily drink to raise immunity and flush out toxins from the body. Avoid mucus-forming foods, such as processed sugars, dairy products, and items made with flour. Also avoid foods that decrease immunity, such as hydrogenated oils and trans-fatty acids. Steer clear of any foods to which you are intolerant or allergic, such as wheat, dairy, or corn.
Supplements: Take 50 mg of zinc picolinate twice a day to enhance the immune system and nourish the skin. |

 Homemade juice isn't even close to the stuff you get in the supermarket. Home juicing gives you all those amazing vitamins, phytochemi-cals, live enzymes, and all the other good stuff in the apple (except, of course, the fiber). Plus, most juice recipes call for a mix of veggies and other fruits to go with the apples (for example, spinach). Sure, homemade juice is still a little high in sugar, but I'm okay with that because of all the benefits you get. Not so with commercial apple juice in the bottle, which is nothing more than sugar water and apple flavoring. |
| Your New Favorite Dessert
You can get the health benefits of cherries by eating the tart ones whole, or by juicing them. I have a favorite secret dessert that I'll share with you: I buy organic frozen red cherries and put them in my freezer. When I'm ready to eat them, I put them—direct from the freezer—into a little bowl with some raw milk or yogurt, which promptly semifreezes on the cherries, forming a kind of "ice milk." Stir it up, and the resulting mixture is like Cherry Garcia ice cream, only with a zillion times more health benefits. |
| It should be consumed immediately after juicing.
Microalgae (spirulina, chlorella, and wild blue-green alga)
These members of the microalgae family contain more chlorophyll than any other foods and were among the first life forms. According to Paul Pitchford in his book Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition, microalgae exist on the edge between the plant and animal kingdoms. In addition to chlorophyll they contain protein, beta-carotene, and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). |
